THE WORLD’S FIRST ARTIFICIAL ENERGY ISLAND JUST GOT THE GO-AHEAD

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Princess Elisabeth Island, the world's first artificial energy island, has secured its environmental permit in Belgium. The island is an at-sea electricity grid that will connect offshore wind farms to the Belgian mainland. It will serve as a hub for future interconnectors with the UK and Denmark. Construction is planned to be completed in August 2026. The island is expected to be fully connected to all wind farms and the mainland by 2030. A 3-minute video about the project is available.
